Hello Australians! I am mark Greenup
Welcome to my About page—here's my story, my vision, and why I'm committed to making a difference.
A New Approach to Leadership
Why I Founded This Movement
There was a defining moment that pushed me to bring my ideas into the public space—the day the social media ban for under-14s was greenlighted. That moment was a wake-up call. It showed me that Australia does not have true free speech protections, and that our government is willing to pass laws restricting freedoms without any real accountability to the people. If something as fundamental as speech can be limited at will, what else will they take? That’s when I knew—I had to act.
Who I Am
I am Mark Greenup, an everyday Australian who believes in fairness, accountability, and common-sense leadership. I have spent years working in warehousing and logistics, managing stock, leading small teams, and ensuring businesses operate smoothly. I know what it means to work hard for a living, face challenges head-on, and navigate a system that often feels stacked against ordinary people.
I’m not a career politician. I’m not here to join the elite. I’ve built my career on problem-solving, hard work, and leading by example—and I bring that same attitude into politics. My focus is on making government work for the people again, not serving corporate interests or political donors.

My Political Philosophy: A Parliament That Works for the People
For too long, Australian politics has been about winners and losers—where major parties fight to secure absolute control rather than govern in the best interest of the people. But that’s not how democracy should function.
I do not seek to hold a majority. I welcome a Parliament where compromise is necessary and minor parties have influence. No one leader, no one party, has all the answers. Policies should be debated, challenged, and refined—not dictated by a single party in power. My opinions are not perfect, and they do not reflect every Australian. That’s why I believe the only way forward is through collaboration and negotiation.
Government should not be about winning. It should be about serving.
The Policies That Define My Fight
Two key issues define my mission:
🔵 The Government Renewal Act – A fundamental reset of our political system to end career politicians, ban lobbying, and introduce public referenda to give Australians power over laws. No more unchecked power. No more backroom deals. A government that serves the people, not itself.
🔵 Law and Order Reform – A system where laws are enforced fairly, public safety is prioritized, and justice is about accountability, not political grandstanding. Crime, corruption, and failing systems don’t just disappear with words—they require action.
These policies are about restoring balance, rebuilding trust, and ensuring that every Australian is heard.
My Personal Struggles and Why They Drive Me
Politics should be about understanding the real struggles people face—not just speaking in slogans, but actually knowing what it's like to feel unheard, overlooked, or left behind. I know that feeling firsthand.
I have spent much of my life feeling isolated, struggling to connect, and navigating a world that often didn’t seem to have a place for me. High school was an especially lonely time—I was bullied to the point where I withdrew, spending my breaks in the library rather than with others. Those years, which should have been about forming friendships, experiencing life, and learning how to connect, instead became years of solitude. Because of that, social situations have never come naturally to me. Building relationships, whether friendships or otherwise, has felt like trying to solve a puzzle without knowing what the final picture is supposed to look like.
Even as an adult, I have felt like an outsider. I go to work, I come home, and I repeat the cycle—day after day, with little to break it. I know what it feels like to work hard but still feel like something is missing. I know how difficult it is to break free from routines that don’t bring happiness but seem impossible to change. And I know how exhausting it is when people expect things from you but don’t take the time to understand what you need to succeed.
These struggles don’t make me weak—they have made me determined. They have given me a real perspective on what it's like to feel disconnected in a country that should give everyone a place. They have fueled my belief that no one should be left behind—not in politics, not in the workplace, not in society.

My Pledge to the People
I do not enter politics to join the elite. I do not seek wealth, power, or privilege.
✅ I pledge to remain grounded—to never disconnect from the real struggles Australians face.
✅ I pledge to never take more than I need—because the public purse is not a personal bank account. Holding office is a privilege, not a right, and it should never be used for personal gain.
✅ I pledge to serve, not rule—because government is not about controlling people; it’s about protecting their freedoms, ensuring fairness, and delivering results.
I founded this movement because Australia needs change. Not just a new face in an old system, but a complete reimagining of what government should be. A system that works for the people, by the people—not for politicians and their donors.
The road ahead won’t be easy. But if we stand together, if we challenge the system that has failed us, and if we fight for a real democracy—then, by 2100, we can leave behind a country that we are proud of.
This is our time. Let’s reimagine Australia together.
Why I Am Unlike Any Politician Because I Am Not One
Australia has been failed by politicians for decades.
Weak leaders, career bureaucrats, and spineless politicians have sold out this country to corporate donors, property investors, and their own self-interest. They have watched housing prices explode, infrastructure collapse, and working Australians struggle—and they have done nothing to stop it.
They have made their money. They have secured their pensions. And they do not care about the damage they leave behind.
I am not one of them.
✅ I do not exist to keep the system comfortable.✅ I will not kiss up to donors or play political theater.✅ I am here to tear apart the failures of the past and build something better.
This is the difference between me and every politician before me:
Politicians fear backlash. I do what’s necessary, no matter who it upsets.Politicians dodge responsibility. I take ownership of my actions and the results.Politicians are cowards. I will say the truth, act decisively, and never back down.Politicians serve their donors. I serve Australians—not banks, not investors, not the elite.For too long, this country has been run by weak, incompetent leaders who care more about keeping their seats than actually fixing the problems they created.
📢 I am not here to protect their legacy—I am here to bury it.
🔥 Australia doesn’t need another politician. It needs action. And that’s exactly what I bring.

Why I Am Different from Albanese and Dutton
🔴 Anthony Albanese is a career politician, having spent decades in the Labor Party system. While he presents himself as a champion of the working class, his government often makes slow, safe changes rather than bold reforms. His leadership remains tied to union influence and party loyalty, rather than the everyday Australian worker.
🔵 Peter Dutton takes a hardline, law-and-order-first approach, often prioritizing national security and corporate interests over workers’ rights. He is divisive and struggles to connect with modern Australia, offering policies that are tough, but not always fair.
✅ I am not a career politician—I come from real-world experience. I have worked in warehouses, struggled with social challenges, and understand what it's like to feel unheard. My leadership is built on transparency, fairness, and direct public involvement.
✅ I don’t seek absolute power—I welcome a multi-party Parliament where compromise is necessary. Unlike major parties that seek dominance, I believe in a government that truly represents the people.
✅ I don’t answer to unions or corporations—My vision for Fair Work Australia replaces outdated union control, giving workers real power to negotiate without middlemen.
✅ I take bold action where others hesitate—From banning foreign home buyers to outlawing political lobbying, my policies focus on real change, not just maintaining the status quo.
I offer not just a different leader, but a different way of governing—one that is built for the people, by the people.
This is the future I want to build. This is why I fight.
